    Thanks,
    The solution was to enter the ip addresses for my isp's dns servers. I
    do have another question about this setup. Now that I installed my
    router when I boot up I get the error:
    "Could not look up internet address for dhcppc2.
    This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly.
    It may be possible to correct the problem by adding
    dhcppc2 to the file /etc/hosts."
    Also, now when I enter a terminal instead of get
    myusername@localhost.localdoman I get myusername@dhcppc2. Can someone
    tell me how to change this back or why it is happening?
    Thanks,

    Chris.
